White Pie, a wood-fired Italian restaurant and pizzeria, is now open at 1702 Humboldt Street. The neighborhood eatery owned by brothers Kris and Jason Wallenta of Dos Santos is set in a space that feels inviting and modern.

The bones of the old building, a place that once housed the catering operation for Strings, are honored by allowing the exposed brick and high ceilings with wooden beams to shine. Big new windows, a freshly poured floor, a C-shaped bar around the centerpiece oven, plus tables that weave in warm wood elements give the space a contemporary look.
